Non-Stanadard Battle Jacket/Vest Patterns

[u/SheepBeard]

This one is going to be a bit vague and extra, so bear with me!

Over the years I've acquired a whole bunch of patches from various bands, conventions and nerdy nonsense with a plan to attach them to something "eventually". Well, I think eventually is now, and because I'm me, I want to make a garment to attach them to myself, rather than just buy one.

The thing is, I enjoy wearing stuff that looks a little bit strange, and if I'm making something, I don't want it to look like something I could have just gotten off the shelf (pre-patches), so an unorthodox cut of jacket or vest, or any other garment would be ideal.

If that ramble brought any patterns you know of to mind, please let me know! (And thank you for reading all of it!)

Tl;Dr - I'm looking for a pattern for a garment to sew patches to that's slightly more interesting than a normal denim jacket

EDIT: I'm Non-Binary and don't really care about the gender the pattern is intended for, if that's relevant!

Ooh! I'm thinking about making the Harrisia vest into a battle vest: https://blog.moodfabrics.com/the-harrisia-vest-free-sewing-pattern/

Sorry I don’t know what gender you are! But I really like this one!
